My Twins Started Kindergarten!

 

My kids didn’t start school at the same time this year, my oldest began Grade 4 three days before her sisters. It was really odd having this staggered ‘back to school’ routine, I really can’t say I liked it at all.

The worst part was that it really confused the twins, they kept asking why their sister was at school and they weren’t. We all know how repetitive this gets {worse than ‘are we there yet’}, so when the day finally came for them, we were all more than happy.

 Last week I shared a photo of Isabelle’s First Day of Grade 4.

This post? It’s dedicated to the twins and their first day of Kindergarten. How’d that sneak up so fast? Smiles on and ready to go, they were so excited. Unlike their older daughter too, I was able to get a TON of photos to commemorate the day {as in, not just one photo then many eye-rolls thereafter}.

 Yet, new and unknown is a little intimidating. They listened and took it all in, yet never left each others side. In fact, when on the tour of the school, this is how they walked. And didn’t.let.go.

Let it stand for the record that these two hardly ever hold hands. Even when crossing the street and I ask them to, is met with some degree of complaining and arguing. So this moment captured? I die!!

It was agreed by the twins that Kindergarten is about the best thing ever. First day, success!

My little Miss Katie & Sophia … Kinders!

Looking Back

I’ve spent a great deal of time lately looking back at old photos. Going through these pictures is largely due to the great photos disaster of 2011. Since then I have been really studying photos of when my oldest daughter was a baby and toddler. I can’t help but to compare her at 3, to…

  15. How sweet! Are they in the same class? That’s good they have each other through a sometimes scary event.

    I remember how you posted about them not wanting to keep their diapers on. Time sure does slip on by. Isaak started Kindergarten on the 14th of August.

  32. so sweet! My youngest started Kindergarten this year too! in our district, they all started on the same day, but the neighboring district had the kinder “slow start” as well. too confusing! I was just glad to see them off on the same morning! bittersweet, but still so proud! 🙂

  38. How cute are they!! I would miss them during the day that’s for sure! The Hello Kitty just tops it off 🙂

    1. I think it’s so that they get used to the teacher/school without ALL the kids there, maybe makes it easier for some?

  56. aww.. you must enjoy those quiet moments at home now! I know I look forward to the girls going to school and the silence that befalls after. I don’t know about your ladies, but mine have the gift of gab… fast gab!

  57. Good for them, and good for you! Kindergarten can be scary but once they are in the door a fabulous thing.

  58. what beautiful children, I’m sure it was an exciting day for all of you. So sweet that they held hands all the time. As a twin myself I found one of the most annoying things was that we only ever seemed to count together. First question when I was on my own was always where my sister was! Now if she had only been a sister and not a twin no one would have bother asking. Weird eh?

  61. Your girls are absolutely adorable. I remember well many years ago, they are 27 now, when mine girls started Kindergarten. They put them in separate classes and pretty well all through school it was that way.
